2020-2021 NHL Thread

Well this is what happens when the league completely abandons its responsibility to police its players.

Nah...they're just keeping him out because the caps know he'll likely get runned down or sticked high.

Caps just being smart.

A forward who totalled 36 points in 474 career NHL games is our steward through these challenges.

Looks like Buch got his stick up before Mantha...guess he'll get a game or 3.

I just don?t get the refs.  In a game like this you let Mantha skate around chasing a guy to slash him multiple times.  The refs seem to love doing game management...do your job

Let's get the opinions of people who for sure haven't watched all of the candidates play this year.

I got an e-mail from the NHL promoting this specific game about 2 hours before puck drop. I've been a subscriber to NHL Live/Gamecentre since 2018 and this is the first and only time I've ever received an e-mail from them promoting one specific game. I wouldn't be surprised if the league sent the refs the Godzilla "Let them fight" gif yesterday.
 
Crossing the (_!_) line first is (a) fine, but the retaliation that the system implicitly foments is bad for the game.

I don't understand how a straight arm to the chops(it was a fist to the chin, not a cross check to the face) is more suspendable than a DDT/head punch to the back of the head/Body slam onto the ice is.
 
Buchnevich is getting a hearing for his play. 

Chris Drury has said that he is done for the season so not sure if that is 2-game suspension or injury.

The NHL needs to figure out what is acceptable or not in their league. As you point out, things don't align.

IMO, the action toward a player that is completely defenseless is more egregious.
